Chapter 177: Express your feelings and pursue her
The next morning, the sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains and gently shone into the house.
Mrs. Lin was wearing an elegant floral morning gown and sitting at the dining table. In front of her were two plates of cakes that she was very familiar with: mung bean cake and red bean cake.
There was a glimmer of surprise in her eyes.
"When and where did these pastries appear?" Mrs. Lin asked softly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
The butler stood aside and explained, "Last night, after you fell asleep peacefully, the young master quietly brought back these delicacies from Miss Ye. It was a surprise specially prepared for you."
"Oh?" Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, quickly grasping the key point of the words, "In other words, Lin Xuan went to Ye Wanqing's place last night and brought back these cakes?"
The butler nodded and handed over an exquisite silver spoon. "It seems that the young master has truly come to his senses this time. His intentions seem clearer than before, and he has begun to take action."
However, Mrs. Lin did not seem overly optimistic. She shook her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone:
"You and I both know his stubborn nature. Even if he understands it in his heart, he may not have the courage to pursue the woman he loves. Sometimes, understanding is futile."
She sighed softly, picked up a piece of red bean cake and savored it carefully.
"I also heard that the child from the Jiang family is still infatuated with Ye Wanqing. Even though Old Master Jiang brought him back to the Jiang family, it couldn't stop his heart from still thinking about her."
Upon hearing this, the butler sighed inwardly.
Although she did not fully understand the grudge between Mrs. Lin and the Jiang family, she could feel the unspeakable gap between them.
The two families seemed to be natural enemies, and even the most basic courtesy was omitted.
"But I see that Miss Ye still seems to have some tenderness towards the young master." The butler said softly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Six years is enough to change a lot, but the emotions hidden deep in the heart may not have disappeared with the wind.
When Mrs. Lin heard the housekeeper's words, a flicker of excitement flashed in her eyes, but then dimmed again: "What kind of feelings are we talking about? Look at what idiotic things he's done in those six years!"
Thinking of Lin Xuan's past, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel a little indignant.
Even in that situation, Ye Wanqing still made pastries for her as an old lady. This generosity and tolerance made her both moved and distressed.
At this moment, Lin Xuan, dressed in casual clothes, slowly walked down the stairs with a look of discomfort on his face.
"Mother, the housekeeper said that I went to Ye Wanqing's place last night?" There was a hint of embarrassment in his words, as if he was confirming a fact that he was unwilling to face.
Mrs. Lin's gaze was direct and sharp, leaving Lin Xuan with nowhere to hide.
"Well, so what if you went? If you had understood your own heart earlier, my grandson might be running around now."
There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, but more of disappointment and expectation.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he almost choked on his porridge. He coughed lightly a few times, with complex emotions flashing in his black eyes.
"Mother, I'm just curious, did Ye Wanqing go out often in the past?"
When Mrs. Lin heard this, her face darkened slightly and her tone became sharp: "Why are you asking this? Are you thinking of something bad about her again?"
Seeing this, the housekeeper hurried forward to comfort her: "Madam, don't be angry. The young master may want to know about Miss Ye's past. After all, if you want to pursue someone, you must first understand her preferences."
The housekeeper's words were like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in Mrs. Lin's heart.
She nodded slightly, her tone softening. "She's a quiet child and doesn't like too much noise. If you really want to win her back, you have to cater to her preferences, spend more time with her, and understand her world."
Mrs. Lin paused and continued, "She enjoys tending to flowers and plants, and quietly painting in her room. These are her hobbies, and they are her world."
Lin Xuan nodded seriously, thinking secretly in his heart.
He did not continue to delve into the topic, but simply nodded gently with a calm attitude, his eyes revealing determination:
"I understand, mother. I will prove everything with my actions."
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin felt a warm feeling in her heart. She understood that Lin Xuan's determination this time seemed to be firmer than ever before.
She smiled slightly, her eyes filled with relief: "Ye Wanqing may still have some grudges against you. But mother believes that people are all made of flesh and blood. As long as you work hard, things will get better slowly."
Mrs. Lin's words were full of kindness and encouragement, cheering Lin Xuan on.
She knew very well that Ye Wanqing was tough and independent and would not be easily moved, but at the same time, once she set her mind on someone, she would give her all.
Lin Xuan felt mixed emotions when he heard this.
He looked at his mother, a trace of gratitude and guilt flashing in his eyes: "Mother, I know I didn't do well enough before and disappointed you. But this time, I will definitely do my best."
Mrs. Lin patted the back of his hand gently, her eyes full of trust: "Mother believes in you, just like I believe in myself. Besides, Ye Wanqing is a smart child, she will definitely see your changes."
Changing the subject, Mrs. Lin asked again, "What are you going to do next?"
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I want to get to know her better first, starting with her interests and hobbies, and slowly enter her world."
Mrs. Lin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. "Well, that's a good idea. But you also have to remember that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Take it slow, step by step."
Lin Xuan nodded again, already having a plan in mind.
After breakfast, Lin Xuan had to leave early because he had an important morning meeting.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and then looked at Mrs. Lin deeply: "Mother, I'm going to get busy first."
Mrs. Lin looked at his departing figure, her eyes filled with emotion: "He is really becoming more and more like his father, just as persistent and responsible."
The housekeeper listened from the side and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
She knew that Mrs. Lin had high expectations of Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan had been working hard not to disappoint Mrs. Lin.
On the other side, Ye Wanqing also got up early today.
She wore a simple white dress with a thin belt around her waist, which outlined her graceful figure.
After breakfast, she called Qin Zhuyu and asked her to have lunch together at noon. She also planned to bring her some red bean cakes and mung bean cakes that she made herself to try.
Ye Wanqing was busy in the garden, the gardening shears dancing flexibly in her hands, trimming the excess branches and leaves of her beloved roses.
She didn't often pay attention to online turmoil, so she had no idea what was happening on the Internet at the moment.
But it was different for Qin Zhuyu.
Today is Monday. Qin Zhuyu just walked out of the conference room after the morning meeting when her colleagues told her that she had become a hot topic on the Internet.
At first, she thought that one of her interview videos had gone viral, and she was secretly delighted, thinking that she wouldn't have to worry about her year-end bonus.
However, after watching the video, she realized that things were not simple.
It turned out that a video secretly filmed by self-media when going to the ski resort on the weekend sparked heated discussion.
That self-media account has a huge fan base. In the video, the sentence that Zhao Jinyu refused to be filmed: "Do you think we are people who are short of money?" was used as the cover of the video to deliberately create a topic.
The video was edited, omitting the shot of their first refusal and jumping directly to the second inquiry, and then continuing with Zhao Jinyu's words.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and many people quoted Zhao Jinyu's words, accusing him of being too arrogant and arrogant.
Afterwards, someone recognized Ye Wanqing and mocked her, saying that she was certainly not short of money, after all, she was the wife of the former chairman of Lin Group.
The topic quickly shifted from Zhao Jinyu to Ye Wanqing, and all kinds of rumors spread wildly on the Internet.
Qin Zhuyu instinctively wanted to tell Ye Wanqing about this, but when she thought of Li Mingzhi's reminder, she changed her mind.
She knew Ye Wanqing's character very well and didn't like to be disturbed by these trivial matters.
So, she decided to send the video to Zhao Jinyu and let him handle the matter.
After receiving the video, Zhao Jinyu took quick action.
He contacted a lawyer and sent a letter of attorney to the self-media.
After receiving the lawyer's letter, the self-media removed the video, but still released a clarification video in a sarcastic tone, which roughly said, "He is indeed a person who is not short of money. We just posted the video, but we didn't expect it to be removed so quickly."
Qin Zhuyu is very familiar with this behavior of pretending to be pitiful and secretly manipulating the internet trolls to set the tone.
She watched the clarification video from the self-media and was furious.
She immediately contacted Qin Huai and told him the whole story.
After Qin Huai learned about this, he immediately told Lin Xuan.
Ye Wanqing, one of the parties involved, was waiting for her arrival downstairs of Qin Zhuyu's company. She still knew nothing about the turmoil on the Internet.
